Libra and Aries

Compatibility overview

Who said the best relationships were meant to be easy? The pairing between Aries and Libra is one of the six legendary Opposition matches in Western astrology, where signs are diametrically opposed across the zodiac wheel. At once combative and perfectly harmonious, this is an archetype for what many consider an ideal relationship.

Ultimately one of the most highly regarded of all Western zodiac matches, Aries and Libra are apt to discover fast that there is little middle ground between them. To be sure, potential for disagreement abounds. Aries' energy and impatience for action will almost certainly clash with Libra's measured approach in all things. Aries may be dismissive of Libra's desire to understand and accommodate a diversity of views. Libra will likely feel pressured and rushed by Aries' apparently gung-ho attitude.

However, these tensions are literally only half the story. For, like a Venn diagram with twin circles, where Aries and Libra see eye to eye, almost nothing can rival the force of their shared conviction. These are both Cardinal signs, the raw, pure modality of their respective elements, hence both are motivated by beginnings, explorations, and inspirations. And this shared modality is balanced by sweet compatibility between the elements themselves: the Fire of Aries, the Air of Libra.

The result is a relationship likely to be familiar from any stereotypical romcom or sports drama. These two will inevitably butt heads, annoy and frustrate one another, yet all the while the shared values at the core of their match grow stronger and stronger. The result? A terrific foundation for any and all of the most serious relationships in life.

Following publication of his bestselling book, Coach Wooden and Me: Our 50-Year Friendship On and Off the Court (2017), Abdul-Jabbar described: "What [Wooden and I] had that we loved together so much, you know, the things that we shared, the loves that we shared, you know, for literature and for sports other than basketball. But, you know, he was an English teacher. I was an English major. So we had that, and that was a tremendous bond. And it enabled him to reach into my life and for me to have insight into his life...[S]ometimes he didn't understand how race could affect somebody. And he didn't see that until he was with me, and we went through incidents where he saw that geez, he wouldn't like to have experienced that. And he didn't think that other Americans were that mean-spirited and cruel at times, the way that [B]lack people experience those emotions and sentiments from their fellow Americans. And he said he learned so much from what he saw me go through as his star player."

The Rabbit and Pig is one of the most special matches in the entire Chinese zodiac. At its core, Chinese astrology is based on four Trine Families, like the elements in the Western zodiac. The family that includes the Pig and Rabbit—along with their close ally, the Sheep—is the gentlest, most peaceable of the four.

Chances are, these two will sense a delicious calmness fall over them as soon as they meet. The Rabbit's idealistic, artistic temperament tends to feel immediately encouraged and supported by the abundantly generous Pig. The Pig is likely to sense from the beginning that the Rabbit's motives are pure and kind, and that the Pig's trusting nature will never be taken advantage of.

This combination naturally emphasises aesthetics, goodness and compassion—everything that is beautiful in the world. Hence as a duo they will be motivated towards conflict resolution, creative expression, and sensual experience. The vices that can arise for these two souls in other contexts—self-sabotage or irritability for the Pig; fearfulness or isolation for the Rabbit—are mercifully rare or absent when they are together. Instead, this relationship is deeply protective and nurturing.

While the Pig/Rabbit combination is known to contribute a sense of harmony to many families, it is equally true that these two can contribute their magical, family-like energy to any setting where they are welcome and comfortable.

Braff wrote in January 2022, "Happy birthday to this beautiful human being. I am so lucky to know you. And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent."

Linda Cardellini (6/25/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Christina Applegate (11/25/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors starred together in the show Dead to Me and became close friends. Cardellini has said: "The trust that we have with each other in life, and on screen, which just happened magically, kind of instantly for us, I’m so grateful for.

In 2021, they reconnected on The Drew Barrymore Show (2020-present), with Barrymore explaining, "We have not seen each other face-to-face, actually, in almost 20 years." Green said on the show, "It's very nice to see you. It does feel weird, though. Not weird in a bad way — weird in a good way. Appreciate it, Drew, so thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome. This is cool. I actually think this is a nice way of reconnecting, actually. It takes a little bit of the pressure off."

[And] another hour. And then he never wants to just beat you. He wants to put his foot on your neck and just...[makes growling sound]. You’re not satisfied with beating me? You want to crush me too? Yup."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The two late night hosts developed a supportive friendship over many years. In 1994, Letterman famously returned to NBC as O'Brien's guest—after being rejected by the network himself—which gave O'Brien's show a memorable and much-needed boost. Said Letterman on the show, "You guys do an incredible amount of comedy and stuff that is produced that is very high level. The volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out. I think you’ve really done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves… I think you did a nice job."
